be separate and more secure prOpisiOn for
patients such as these, in the interest of the
public good OF the welfare of innocent and
reputable insane persons in the hospitals
and Tor the proper care of the criminals"

criminals are now promiscuously mixed up
with respectable demented persons is a
sufficient argument in favor of the establish /
ment of a separate hospital for the criminals. /
